It's Working: No One Is Buying 8GB GPUs (Gamers Nexus) [Video]

In this video, we crawl through over 450 listings of GPUs from AMD, NVIDIA, and Intel. The one finding that jumps-out more than anything else is that the most available cards at the closest prices to MSRP are 8GB models, particularly when higher capacity models of the "same" GPU exist. This further reinforces that MSRP is no longer a reliable metric in GPU reviews (right now, at least) for even baseline comparisons of value. This type of research is limited in scope by nature as even just trying to capture one market accurately required documenting 3 major retailers for hundreds of listings, which took a lot of time to do. Prices will also change with time, making it difficult to keep track of. Still, we wanted to try and better understand what's going on, the best value video cards right now by proximity to MSRP, and which graphics cards people aren't buying.
